Changelog

v2.6.0

  • Process date in Python instead of TeX. This removes the requirement fo the datetime2 package
  • Improve printing of sample names to command line (fixes #16)
  • Prevent skipped stickers collapsing into a single line
  • Prevent an empty page at the end of the document in case stickers exactly fill up one or multiple pages

v2.5.0

  • Use xelatex executable instead of pdflatex
  • Let locale dictate input encoding (usually UTF-8 on Unix, ANSI on Windows)
  • Refactor code
  • Bump minimum Python version to 3.11 (from 3.10)

v2.4.0

  • Add command line arguments allowing to run generateStickers in non-interactively A warning message has also been added when running the script without any arguments
  • Check if LaTeX is installed and available. Exit script if this is not the case
  • Open PDF using platform-specific command
  • Use Colorama for cross-platform text formatting
  • Warn user if overly long sample names are used

v2.3.2

  • Fix ANSI text formatting not working on Windows

v2.3.1

  • Bug fix: Update number of stickers to print after skipping stickers
  • Minor code and comment refactoring

v2.3

  • Allow user to print empty stickers at the beginning of the sheets. This is useful if a number of stickers from a sheet have already been used
  • Change how user is queried for date printing: By default today's date is printed in iso format (yyyy-mm-dd). No date or custom dates (directly put in by the user) are also possible
  • Introduced sensible default options for all choices the user has to make. This makes it possible to simply press [ENTER] on each query, speeding up the process of typesetting a sticker sheet
  • Print empty sticker if index is out of bound. This ensures that table rows are filled up and fixes a bug that occured when the number of stickers was not a multiple of 7
  • Moved bigger chunks of LaTeX into their own files located in the resources folder
  • Fix bug which caused empty lines in the sample names file to crash the script
  • Escape a bigger set of special characters in LaTeX output. Function adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/25875504
  • Allow reading lines from file with non-unicode encoding
  • Did some code refactoring and cleaning

v2.2

  • Fixed an issue where sample names longer than 20 characters would break the layout
  • Made further changes to case handling of user input and fixed samples names as well as file names being converted to lower case
  • If user does not want to include the date on the sticker, they are not asked further questions about date formatting anymore

v2.1

  • Changed location of input file deletion command as it lead to its unwanted loss under certain circumstances and moved definition of file path to accommodate that change
  • Added logic to put date on new line if sticker name is short and moved special character escape after string length is used for formatting
  • Removed a couple of newline characters from output to make it more compact
  • Changed case handling of user input
  • LaTeX formatting: Took \DATE command out of \mbox as it was unnecessary and lead to extra whitespaces under certain circumstances
  • LaTeX formatting: switched to \par from \newline to avoid horizontal space added by the latter command
  • expanded How To Use section, added changelog and some other small changes to README
  • Added .DS_Store file to gitignore

v2.0

  • initial release of the completely rewritten Python version (v1.X was written in Bash)
